bright Prospect. for our School.

A number of persons who have never
patronized the Jonesboro Graded School,
from this and adjoining counties, we
learn. are arranging To send their children
here this fall. This is q wise course to
pursue. Instead Of sending off to secure
The advantages Of superior institutions of
~~r-ws-x poficy Of the
gentlemen conducting the graded school.
to bring the superior advantages Of mod
ern instruction here and by all who have
taken the time to visit and examine the
workings of our school under the control
Of Prof. Charles Mason and his efficient
corps Of teachers, 1t will be admitted that
the aim of the board of directors in that
regard has been accomplished.
We do not hesitate TO say that the adj
vantages Of the Jonesboro graded school
are unsurpassed anywhere. and Its merits
are sufficiently appreciated by oil who are
familiar with Its workings to induce
them to speak Of 1t to their friends, hence,
the increasing Il interest from year to year,
which is now reaching out into other
counties and possibly other States.
The Tenth Grade scho lars this year
will be the graduating class next year,
and as they will be the first young ladies
and gentlemen to graduate from the
school, much will be expected Of them,
not only during the year but at the close
OF the school, when the assembled multi.
tudc will crown them with lasting honors
never attained by those who fail to com
plcte their education.
We urge every boy and girl In the
school or yet to enter Its ranks, to press
for the honors awaiting oil who satisfac
torially pass all the grades and graduate
from the school. A certificate Of gradua
ton from the Jonesboro Graded Schoo
will be IN honor to any one through life
and II you cannot go long enough Il
graduate, do not forget that n year II
this school will be worth more than tw'
or three years spent in schools which ar
conducted for revenue only"

From the report Of the Nashville Amer
icdH's special correspondent from the
State Normal, held at johnson City last
week, we take the following: A State
Normal Institute. for the counties OF
Washington, Sullivan, Carter and Unicoi
was organized In johnson City today
with a fair attendance of teachers from
the several counties. The Institute was
called 10 order by Prof. Charles Mason.
principal of the Jonesboro graded school,
one OF the best In this'division OF the
State. He Is special manager and In
structor for the State. He is a capable
and jealous instructor and directs the
work admirably.
Prof. E. w. Doran is q special i~nstruc.
tor appointed 10 represent the State. He
has been teaching at Greeneville the past
year and Is q first-class educator.
DR.. M. Mead, the County Superintend-
|ent Of Washington, has the general su-
| pervision of the Institute.
Miss lila Boynton, Of the Jonesboro
school, Is here to show how ''the young
shoot. may be taught to ideate." II her
work in the field Of primary instruction
averages as well or even half as well as
she looks-for she Is as pretty as q dozen
pretty flowers-the teachers will have
greatly profted by her exhibition o.
work with a class Of little boys ant
girls.
The work Of the forenoon consisted
mainly Of organizing and preparing TO
the weeks course of instruction. M. X
Alternately, who had preceded the Stat
Superintendent one day. gave a talk o
thirty minutes, indicating the importance
Of thorough organization of the teach
ers and Of frequent meeting OF the teach
ers and people. His talk was well re
ceived.
The afternoon exercises consisted OF
lecture and class-dril by Z. w. Doran o.
the subject of mathematical geography
a lecture by M. r. Alternately on primar.
methods, and an exercise by Prof. Earl
est, illustrating q method OF teachin
spelling. He regretted that the "ol
spelling bee" was going out Of use, b'
that the greatest benefits were derive
from the written rather than oral spell
ing.
